there is no joint family concept in Muslim personal law so a valid agreement is necessary and for valid agreement (hibanama) should be registered. property cannot be transferred by unregistered hibanama only on natural love and affection when prima facie it seems unfair. however hiba under muslim is governed by muslim personal law instead of Transfer of Property Act. if such hibanama is unregistered then you should challenge its validity because it is invalid. he cannot get possession on the basis of unregistered hibanama.

Firstly please understand the difference between 'Memorandum in Support of Oral Hiba' and 'Hibanama'. The memorandum in case or oral Hiba need not be registered and no stamp duty is payable but if the words Hibanama are written on the document then it needs to have 7% stamp duty and it should be duly registered like a normal Gift Deed. If they have unregistered Hibanama then it is of no value.
